Just a few random thoughts:

First, I don't see how Switzerland can get into the World Group without Federer. As he gets older, it's likely his priorities will shift a bit. Doing more Davis Cup work would make perfect sense.

Second, I have no evidence to back it up except one article that was posted the other day, but I think there's is something medically wrong with Federer. Maybe it's the after-effects of the mono, but I think it's something else... Something that doesn't prevent him from competing, but something that is taking a physical and mental toll on him. Either that, or there are some personal issues going on. But he'll probably not say anything about it, because that's just not his style.

Third, if I'm wrong about #2, then I think he'll rebound eventually. If the U.S. Open doesn't go well for him, then I'd like to see him take the rest of the year off and get whatever issues that are going on sorted out so he can come out like a bandit in 2009.
